I want to update the order preparation time. I have this little HTML form, but I'cant pass it in a PHP variable right after this code. I've used Cookies, I've used POST method but none helped me about it.
<form>
<input type="text" id="save_order_time" name="order_time<?php echo $order_id ?>" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Order Time" onclick="order_time_a();">
</form>
<script>
function order_time_a(){
var input = $('.menu-order-detail').find('input[name="order_time<?php echo $order_id ?>"]').val();
//var input = 25;
<?php
//$order_time = '<script>var input = $(".menu-order-detail").find("input[name="order_time<?php echo $order_id "]").val();</script>';
//update_post_meta($order_id, 'foodbakery_order_time', $order_time); ?>
console.log("Lets show something "+input);
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (1*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "expires="+ d.toGMTString();
document.cookie = "order_time" + "=" + input + ";" + expires + ";path=/";
console.log("Cookie was set. " + input);
}
</script>
<?php
echo ("<script>console.log('This code is executed first')</script>");
//echo ('order_time'.$order_id);
$order_time = $_COOKIE['order_time'];
update_post_meta($order_id, 'foodbakery_order_time', $order_time);
When I use COOKIE solution the value that I've set in previous time is stored in the $order_time value. That's normal because I can't access COOKIE right after is set.
When I use POST method I get NULL in my database.
How can I implement the above?
